Description

A kind of delivery device and method for making thereof that has interchangeable synergism module
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for extremities for medical.
The present invention is specifically related to a kind of delivery device.
The invention still further relates to a kind of method of making delivery device.
Description of Related Art
The people that adopt several conveyer devices to take medicine for often having to, the different choice to treatment under different situations can be easily.
And,, importantly can customize the device that satisfies any potential buyer's needs and hope (comprising the directed function of design more), and obtain scale and benefit simultaneously for the manufacturer of delivery device.
US5,925,021A discloses a kind of delivery device, and it uses microprocessor and display to write down, analyze and manifests the various data that relate to medication management.It provides a kind of single, device of integrating of carrying out multiple function.
WO99/59657A discloses the armarium that a kind of patient of confession is used for carrying out the diabetes autotherapy.Various functional element are linked together in the device of a compactness naturally.During use, each functional element is individually used.
Of the present invention open
The problem of prior art is that these multi-function devices provide than required more function under definite situation, thereby is complicated operation, and has bigger volume and more expensive than necessity, or the like.Comprise that non-synergistic effect that can single use, these devices that health connects individual unit can carry easily, and guarantee to have the necessary function unit, but because these devices have to by mechanical separation and independently operated, so be to use inconvenient.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of delivery device easily, it can be regulated at an easy rate with given user's the different needs and the different needs of different user under the suitable different situations, thereby sees that from the angle of making this is economical.
This can obtain according to the present invention, wherein this device comprises a basic module and one or more replaceable module, in this one or more replaceable module each all is suitable for this basic module machinery and/or electric synergism so that specific function to be provided, and this basic module comprise can be by the common resource of using (resources) of these replaceable modules.
